Blurgha - The Beast (Real-time model)

So I`d like to present my latest real-time creature model done for "The Beast" competition hosted on Polycount by Allegorithmic.

My attempt was to bring a creature from concept stage all the way to production level and test out Substance Painter`s baking and procedural texturing capabilities on dense meshes with multiple UDIM`s.

After low poly was done, pretty much everything else was done in Substance Painter, baked perfectly in one go by playing with the Near/Far rays , then texturing was done mostly procedural (minus a few masks I had to paint myself) .

The mesh has about 100k triangles, re-topologised for animation with proper UVs, spread on 4 UDIMs at 4k texture-set each. I`ve used Pixologic Zbrush for concept and sculpt phase, Topogun for retopology , Maya for mesh cleanup and UV mapping and finally Allegorithmic Substance Painter for Bake and Texture. Rendered in Toolbag / Marmoset 3 Beta.
